==Landmarks== In the neighboring village of Bivolyane, there’s an old site called "Emala Baba," built in the 17th century. It has a tomb with six graves under one roof and an eight-sided shape on the ceiling. An inscription says Gunnar Baba, the son of Emala Baba, is buried here. Nearby is the grave of Fatma, the wife of Prophet Ali, who is known as the protector of mothers and children.
